Build mental health awareness
Build a clearer understanding of mental health, common difficulties and how people can respond when someone may need support.
Green Ribbons
Why choose Green Ribbons?
Good mental health training should feel useful from the moment you’re in the room.
At Green Ribbons, people are encouraged to ask questions, talk things through and connect what they’re learning with real situations. Serious subjects are handled with warmth and care, so the training feels approachable rather than clinical.
People leave with more than information. They leave feeling clearer about what to notice, what to say and what they can do to help.

Training led by experience
Founder, Trainer & Mental Health Advocate
Jean has spent more than 30 years working in mental health and brings that experience into every Green Ribbons course. Her training is practical, conversational and grounded in the situations people actually face.
She creates space for questions, honest discussion and difficult subjects to be talked about without making them feel intimidating. The result is training that people can relate to, remember and use beyond the session.
